A BEAUTIFUL GAME
Between the Teams Representing
Mime poIis and La Crosse.

Minneapolis and La Crosse played
beautiful and exciting game of ball yes
terday, the visitors winning by a mar
row margin. Both pitchers were hit
hard, but the superb fielding cut off
many apparently safe hits, while any
number of long flies were pulled down
by the feeders. The work OF Shaw and
Miller was the feature of the game.
Shaw seemed all over the infeld and
nothing escaped him, while Miller about
duplicated the work. The latter caught
a hot liner with one hand, while Shaw
made phenomenal one-handed
catch of fly in short
left field. Rocks and Corbett led
with the stick, Patton, Miller and Halves
each being good second. Hallstrom
pitched his best game, and was hard to
hit in critical places, while Klopf
pitched his usual steady game. Minnie
apolis played Stacey on third for the
first time. He was little nervous, but
did what he had to do well, and, though
he made no hits, he pounded the ball
for long flies to the outfeld. Murray
umpired the game to the satisfaction of
all Following Ia the official seore.

Dies MONIES, To-, Sept. 9.-St. Paul
was defeated by Des Moines to-day In q
beautifully played game by both clubs.
Not all error was made on either side.
st. Paul scored two runs in the second
inning on hits by Cleveland, Pickett and
Crooks, and one in the third on Will
mot's single and steal of second base,
whence he came home on Cleveland's
single. None of the visitors crossed the
plate after that. The home club began
to find the ball in the fourth inning.
After Alvord was declared out on very
close decision, Veach made triple and
came home on Whiteley'S single. Bros
nan was given a base on balls, and
Wells sent hot one direct to Pickett,
but, as the short stop stopped to gather
1t up, the ball bounded suddenly and
struck him sQuarely in the face demon
alizing him considerably and
letting Whitley in. Sage was
given first on balls, fill
ing the bases, but Force was thrown
out at first, ending the inning. One
more was added in the fifth on Alvord'S
single and steal of second and Whitely's
safe hit to right field. The ninth. inning

off with single, Larocque fouled out
and Alvord made long drive to center
field fence for home run. Deafening
cheers greeted this timely hit. The Wis
itOrS made last desperate effort to
overtake this lead. Cleveland started
off with single, his fourth hit of the
game. Pickett followed with grounder
to BroSnan, who captured 1t handsome
ly, touched Cleveland on the line and
fielded Pickett out at first. Crooks ended
the game by striking out. The attend

NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Philadelphia Defeats Washington
---No Other Games Played.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Philadelphia
played all around Washington to-day,
and won after long drawn-out and I'M
interesting game. For the first five
innings the game was well played, but
the pace seemed too fast for the Wash
ingtons, who went to pieces in the
fifth, and allowed the Phillies to make
five runs, only one of which was earned.
Fogarty made brilliant running catch,
as did also Wood. III the first Wash
ington made a run on two hits and
wild pitch. In the same inning Phila-
delphia tied the score on base on balls,
two sacrifice hits and stolen base.
The visitors won the game in the fifth
inning on errors by DonnelIy and
Dealy, two battery errors, triples by
Irwin and Clements and single by
Fogarty. A single and O'Brien's hit
over the fence netted two runs for
Washington in the eighth. Score:

The M. c. M. A. Course.

Rev. @. II. Shinn, in the NJ. c. NJ. A.
course last evening, gave very interesting
account of the scenes of the late war through
which he has passed. Mr.. Shinn was a Vir-
ginian, too young at the commencement of
pehelliou to enlist, but afterward a
Virginia on the Union
6 his address he made a
.oyalty of his own State by say
aG it did not secede from the Union OF
own accord, but because of the intimida.
tion of other rebel states. In the legislature
when the time came for voting upon this i'm
portant question, it was found that in order
to make the result in favor of secession
twelve men must be kept from voting And
it was only by threats of hanging that this
was accomplished. A majority of the peo-
pie was not in favor of secession. The lee
turer spoke in terms of the highest praise OF
the mountaineers of West Virginia, claiming
that 1t was through the efforts of these brave
daring men that the Confederate army was
prevented from working through to Ohio
and thence to the Great Lakes, which would
have cut the North in two and would have
been decided gain for the seceders. Mr.
Shinn told many laughable anecdotes of ar
my life and held the close attention of his
hearers for near ly two hours
